Advices on how to buy a decent P08 BULGARIAN

Sergio Natali · 09-16-2013, 06:24 AM

Recently I've had the opportunity to see three P.08 "Bulgarian" lugers, the ones made in 1909/1910 with the Bulgarian crest on the toggle link and the standing lion on right receiver. I feel quite tempted to get one, BUT, so far I've only seen either heavily refurbished ones or in very poor conditions, where they've got some mismatched parts, and all are with unmatching numbers; nonetheless I'm looking for something as original as possible, but I think I'd need to have somebody's else unbiased opinion.
